Arsenal And Liverpool Preparing Bids For Hull City Defender Steven Mouyokolo


Liverpool and Arsenal are considering making a summer bid for Hull City defender Steven Mouyokolo, according to the Daily Mirror.

The 23-year-old joined Hull from French side Boulogne last summer, and has put in a number of eye-catching performances in a underwhelming season for the club.

Currently fighting against relegation, a drop to the Championship for the Tigers could see the Frenchman become an attractive cut-price option for a number of Premier League clubs.

Chelsea are another club that have been linked with Mouyokolo, who has recently expressed his delight at the interest shown in him.

"I am flattered by the interest of prestigious club like Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea, these clubs are dream clubs," Mouyokolo told Sky Sports last month.

"I have a four-year contract here, but you never know. When clubs like that come for you it makes you think."

Stoke City boss Tony Pulis is reportedly the nearest to lodging a bid for the defender, who is reportedly valued at around £2 million, but he will have to move quickly to avoid the bigger clubs joining the auction for the youngster's services.
